. An old rivalry
England and Scotland will meet for the 115th time in Friday’s Euro 2020 clash. The Three Lions lead the way on 48 wins but the Tartan Army can look back on a decent figure of 41 victories down the years, with 25 draws. Photo: Jeff J Mitchell
. A must-win game for Scotland
Following the 2-0 defeat to Czech Republic in Monday’s Euro 2020 opener at Hampden Park, it is bordering on a must-not lose encounter for Steve Clarke's men. Lose and Scotland would likely have to beat Croatia handsomely on Tuesday and even then there is no certainty they would progress. Photo: Jeff J Mitchell

Colin Hendry, who will be in London on Friday with the rest of the Tartan Army, said Scotland must come away with at least a point from Wembley. “We can’t lose - that is the most important thing,” he said, “We could draw on Friday, beat Croatia and go through on four points but we can’t talk about Croatia, it is all about Friday night.” Photo: Jeff J Mitchell
7. Kevin Gallacher
Scotland legend Kevin Gallacher has said he thinks England are setting themselves up for a fall by underestimating the away side. He said: “I hope England are thinking that they can walk all over Scotland, and hopefully that’ll do Scotland some favours.” Photo: Jeff J Mitchell

Meanwhile, ticketless Scotland fans who gather in London to watch their team’s Euro 2020 match with England could risk creating a spike in coronavirus cases, according to the city’s mayor.
